I know this for a 100% fact.

Professional sportsman are some of the worst sports bettors ever.
They don't understand the game. (or at least the game within a game)

How many of these experts have gone on to make millions from sports betting....answer... zero.
If they know so much they can use money to back those opinions. Its easy to keep score.

How many math nerds using various prediction programs have done very well......quite a few.

That's why I couldn't give two s**ts what these pundits say. It means nothing to me unless you can prove you are an expert.
